He and Morrone were reportedly seen on a double date with Kaia Gerber and Austin Butler – but why did the 28-year-old have beef with Kanye West?

Nobody’s doing it like Cole Bennett. The “It” boy of the music industry is the go-to music video director for some of the top artists today. We’re talking Eminem, Kanye West, J. Cole, Jack Harlow, Drake, Justin Bieber and the late Juice WRLD, among others.

He’s the founder of Lyrical Lemonade, a hip-hop blog-turned-multimedia company, and has launched his own independent music festival called Summer Smash, the 2024 edition of which was headlined by Chief Keef, Playboi Carti and artists from Travis Scott’s Cactus Jack label. Lyrical Lemonade also just dropped a compilation album, All is Yellow, featuring 34 artists including Eminem, Lil B, Lil Durk, Kid Cudi, Chief Keef and Juicy J.

But now he’s making the headlines for his dating life.

Earlier in July, Bennett was spotted with actress and model Camila Morrone, well-known for being Leonardo DiCaprio’s ex. They broke up two years ago when Morrone turned 25. Now, she is rumoured to be dating Bennett, 28, after they were reportedly seen on a “double date” with her bestie Kaia Gerber and her boyfriend Austin Butler. Soon after, they were spotted together again at Dom Pérignon’s “Exploration of Tactility” event in New York. The two were “holding hands and looking cosy”, according to a source.

Interestingly, last year, Bennett sparked romance rumours with another one of DiCaprio’s exes, Gigi Hadid. Hadid is now reportedly dating Bradley Cooper.

So what else do we know about this young music genius?

Bennett grew up in Plano, Illinois, an hour outside Chicago. He moved to Chicago 10 years ago.

Growing up in a small town had its effects on Bennett’s creativity: he revealed on Our Generation Music that it allowed his “imagination to really flourish and just expand” and forced him to “think outside the box”, as there wasn’t much to do in the “bare-bones” town.
